Hello + a few questions

Alfapiomega · 02-09-16, 10:37 AM

Hello everyone,

I would like to start by saying that to see such an active community around a game that has its age is incredible and makes me really happy.

For quite some time now I have wanted to get into SH series but to be honest I never felt it. I bought SH4 several years ago it haven't played it for more than two hours. I can't say why but he game just felt weird.
I did another big search yesterday and yet again found out people heavily suggest modded SH3 over SH4 so I decided to give it a try. I bought the game and I am having a blast. No idea why but the game just feel much better than SH4.

I am halfway through the manual and tutorial but I already have a couple of questions so if anyone could answer these for me I would be quite grateful. Thank you in advance to anyone who gives me their advice!

a) SH3 + GWX3 Gold + ?
I installed the mod right in he beginning as it seems to best ad there really is no need to play without it. But what other mods are there that can be installed over this? I saw people suggesting SH3 commander mod but to be honest most Google results are over 2 years old. Could anyone suggest anything? Also if he above mod is a good choice could anyone easily write up a way how to install it? The search I did (and its original thread) is hard to understand...

b) Learning curve
What is the best course of action to take after finishing the tutorial? Campaign? Single missions? How long before you felt comfortable sailing?

c) Settings
The game runs in a quite low resolution. Is there any way how to increase it? Graphics are not my primary concern but hey, if I can do it why not do it.

Thank you again in advance and smooth sailing! o7
